700c gave birth to the 29er MTB, which was initially adopted by tall riders. However the geometry has fragmented over the years into drop-bar builds (Monster Cross) and with discs now common, Gravel or XC riding has come back. This frame suits both 29 & 700C wheels and tyres. This frameset comes with SALSA ALTERNATOR 2 swing dropouts. An option of PF92 OR T47 bottom brackets. All cables run internally for the complete uncluttered look, and easier to clean.
